Freudenberg Sealing Technologies is creating a turning point in the purchasing of B2B seals and components with their ‘Industrial Supply and Services’ online platform exclusively starting in the United Kingdom as the first local market.
The Industrial Supply and Services (ISS) platform is the first online marketplace for high-quality B2B sealing solutions and components, setting new standards in the procurement of industrial parts. Constant time pressure and waiting for offers are now a thing of the past. 24/7 availability and local order processing enable unrivalled speed for deliveries within the UK.
Freudenberg has worked with its long-standing local trading partners and integrated them as platform vendors in the project. The advantages are obvious: for the customers, this means a larger selection of products as well as comparisons regarding price, availability and additional services. The local order processing also ensures the fastest possible shipping.
Freudenberg is the operator of the online marketplace in the background. Only selected, trustworthy merchants are facing the customers on the platform.
The range of products in 2018 for the UK is limited to seals of the Freudenberg and Dichtomatik brands, but already includes more than 40,000 items – from O-rings to pneumatic seals and rod seals. However, Freudenberg will expand rapidly in terms of entering other regions and extending its product and service offering.
A big advantage of the integration of trading partners is the possible integration of their broad product portfolio because the success of industrial dealers is mainly due to their enormous range, flexibility, and speed. In the future, ISS will exploit this potential to create the first “B2B One-Stop-Shop” for seals and related industrial components.
